Chapter 1420: 952 Goodbye Wu Zhiqi

In an instant, the Saint of Taiqing and the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign disappeared on the spot, and when they reappeared, they had arrived in the area where the Yin and Yang Grindstone had previously been.

This was the ultimate achievement of the Dao of Space. Chaos was not without void, so they created a void out of nothingness to achieve spatial teleportation.

After they summoned the ethereal shadow of Pangu’s primordial spirit, the power of the Saint of Taiqing and the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign surged, allowing them to accomplish things they previously could not, vaguely touching the highest levels of the Dao and becoming almost omnipotent.

"It is here; my brother’s opportunity lies here," said the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign, dispersing the ethereal shadow of Pangu’s primordial spirit, and gazing at the Chaos in front of him.

Since the Sanqing were incomplete, relying solely on the power of two was insufficient to sustain the ethereal shadow of Pangu’s primordial spirit for a long time. They could only maintain it briefly before having to disperse it reluctantly. Fortunately, they had achieved their goal.

"The opportunity has still been taken; Jiang Chen has already taken it,"

The Saint of Taiqing sighed helplessly. The void in front of him was utterly empty, clearly indicating that the treasure had already been taken by Jiang Chen.

From the time Jiang Chen left to when the two arrived, some time had passed. The chaotic energy from around surged towards them, and along with Jiang Chen’s careful cleaning up of traces, the aura of the Yin and Yang Grindstone had long vanished; this place in Chaos looked no different from any other area.

Even now that the Saint of Taiqing had rushed here, he only knew that an unparalleled treasure had once existed here, but what exactly that treasure was remained unknown.

Although the Great Dao was omnipotent, the two were not the Dao itself; deducing the location of the Yin and Yang Grindstone was already their limit, but trying to deduce the entire process of the event was beyond their capabilities.

"The aura of the Chaos Demigod..."

The Saint of Taiqing searched through the area time and again, finally bearing fruit, finding a trace of the Chaos Demigod’s aura that Jiang Chen had intentionally left behind.

Jiang Chen did not dare leave behind the aura of the Yin and Yang Grindstone, so he intentionally left a trace of the Chaos Demigod’s aura to mislead and confuse.

The treasure related to the Chaos Demigod was useful even for the Saint, which made it understandable that the Saint of Taiqing would feel a connection to it. Moreover, this also helped to confirm previous rumors.

"A treasure made from the flesh of the Chaos Demigod?" the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign realized, evidently also detecting that trace of the Chaos Demigod’s aura.

"According to our youngest brother, Jiang Chen was injured because of the Chaos Demigod. I didn’t believe it before, but now it seems very likely to be true."

"Jiang Chen must have accidentally discovered the clue to the Chaos Demigod, resulting in a conflict with it and ending up severely injured."

"However, Jiang Chen must be in pain, and the Chaos Demigod that struck him mustn’t be feeling good either, having taken a significant loss and lost a very important treasure at his hands,"

guessed the Saint of Taiqing.

At this moment, all the clues interconnected; it was indeed Jiang Chen and the Chaos Demigod who had fought. Despite suffering a great loss, he still learned of a treasure’s whereabouts and quickly traveled to Chaos to retrieve that treasure.

Coincidentally, this treasure was very useful to the Saint of Taiqing, which was why, after obtaining it, Jiang Chen was immediately sensed by him.

"With the treasure in Jiang Chen’s hands, getting it back will be difficult; we need to plan for the long term,"

said the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign, lacking any good solutions. If the treasure had fallen into someone else’s hands, it would have been manageable, as they could use their influence to exchange for it.

But with Jiang Chen, considering the deteriorated relationship between them, he would rather let the treasure gather dust in a vault than do business with them.

"Big brother, think about it carefully. Is this treasure truly important to you, indispensable? If not, then in my opinion, we should let this matter rest,"

said the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign, truly not wishing to deal with Jiang Chen.

It was just one treasure; what they least lacked were treasures. If it wasn’t indispensable, it wasn’t worth worrying about letting it go.

"Ah, I’ll think about it again,"

sighed the Saint of Taiqing, mainly uncertain whether the treasure was truly important to him. Jiang Chen’s unpredictable presence severely impacted his judgment, leaving him somewhat unable to distinguish what was more critical.

The two stood silently in Chaos, pondering what else.

...

...

Meanwhile, Jiang Chen had returned to the Three Realms.

On the Nine States Continent, the ancient Huai River flowed majestically, like a giant dragon winding its way, its end beyond sight.

With the resurgence of Spiritual Energy, those ancient rivers too began to awaken, turning from ordinary mortal rivers into mythic rivers, each wider and more boundless than the last, awe-inspiring to behold.

Such was the Huai River, which compared to Jiang Chen’s last visit, had expanded in size by a thousandfold. But this was not its limit; more vast territories of the Huai River were hidden in Space.

With the continued resurgence of Spiritual Energy, these territories would one by one reveal themselves to the world.

Silently, Jiang Chen’s silhouette appeared on the banks of the Huai River. He came not to reminisce about the past but on official business.

With a light step, Jiang Chen crossed tens of thousands of miles and arrived at Turtle Mountain in Huaiyin. The ancient fierce beast Wu Zhiqi was sealed here, and Jiang Chen’s visit was related to him.

Wu Zhiqi, because of being possessed by the Chaos Demigod, had to, with the aid of Emperor Yu’s hand, lock himself in Turtle Mountain in Huaiyin to prevent himself from causing chaos if he lost control and to use the power of the Huai River to suppress the Chaos Demigod within his body.
